Thanks, ER ordered the MRI - symptoms are pain headache extreme weakness, dizziness, inability to stand long periods, painful in Tspine to walk much, bladder issues. Primary diagnosis is axial psoriatic arthritis so these symptoms have been explained by that to this point for months now but it’s worse. The ER is small, hospital has not many doctors/we are rural. They told me GP needed to take over but she said she doesn’t know where to send me. I have a doc that does pain steroid injections but his office says he doesn’t handle this. I’m in Laramie Wyoming. A nurse at the hospital has ordered a bone scan for tomorrow, I spoke with them and they were able to get one thru insurance stat.
I’m not sure if that’s all the info you asked ?

Hi in Laramie:
Since you know that you have a lesion but don’t know if it is cancerous, you need an excellent clinic like Mayo to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. If it is cancerous you have no time to waste, and since you don’t know, you have no time to waste waiting for your primary care doc to make a referral. At least go to some of the best to determine what you are up against. Best wishes and don’t let your anxiety rob you of your ability to take action.
